According to Jefferson Lab, an average 70 Kg person, that's
about 150 lbs, will have approximately 7*10 to the 27th atoms in
their body. That's 7 followed by 27 zeros
(7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000).
The number of stars in the Universe, which is estimated at 10*10
to the 21, or 10 followed by 21 zeros.
(10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000).
So you can see that there are way more atoms in your body than
there are stars in the universe.

How does the total number of cells in the human body relate to the size of one cell in the human body?
Many sources say that the average human has 100 trillion cells
in their body. So, one cell would be 1/100 trillionth of your
entire body. I've also heard that the average cell contains 100
trillion atoms. That means your body contains roughly
10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms.

Asked in Science
What elements makes up the greatest percent of the human body?
Oxygen is about 63% of the human body by mass.
Oxygen is in many biological molecules, but most of it is in
water.
Numerically, hydrogen atoms represent 63% of all atoms in the
human body. That varies too, because many of the hydrogen are
abound up in water and water content varies.
Water by itself can be 63% of the mass of a human. (It varies
with age, gender, muscle and and body fat, but is 55-65% for adults
and more for children.)
As one can see, many things are 63% of the human body.
